Voice Over : Mouse pointer moves VO cursor Question

Hi!!
I have low vision, and i want to use the voice over with my mouse and/or trackpad. Im able to see where the text is but i cant read it well. When I enable the Voice Over I select "Mouse pointer moves Voice Over cursor in the preferences. This works fine for me, vut i noticed that when i drag the pointer over the finders sidebar it select the folders without me clicking on them. Something similar happens in Safari when scrolling the web page. There is any way to avoid this?? The Voice Over with the keyboard is very nice but sometimes I rather use the mouse.
Thanks in advance!!

No not really. If this is a brand new Macbook Pro take it back for a refund. Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund.
Take it back, get the Full Refund (DO NOT LET THEM TRY TO FIX IT. YOU BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER NOT ONE THAT HAS BEEN WORKED ON OR NEEDS TO BE FIXED) and then decide whether to buy another Macbook Pro or the iMac. Or you could return it, get the Full refund and buy some other brand computer.

Making window active when mouse pointer moves over it?

As the subject line says, how do I configure Mac OS X such that a window automatically becomes the active one (also in the menu bar) when the mouse pointer moves over it? If possible, with a slight delay?

A far as I know it doesn't work that way. You need to click on the window to make it active.

My OWN mouse pointer movie issue

Mine works similarly, but that exampole you link to appears to use location detection to start a tween that makes the object gradually disappear. I say this because the distance from the edge where it stops and fades differs every time. It most likely is set to occur at some distance less than the actual width and height of the stage since it does not happen at the edge, always somewhere before it.
So you could use a conditional to test if you want to change the alpha...
Mouse.hide();
pointer_mc.startDrag(true);
this.onMouseMove = function(){
      if(_xmouse < 5 || _ymouse < 5 || _xmouse > Stage.width-5 || _ymouse > Stage.height-5){
            pointer_mc._alpha = 0;
      } else {
            pointer_mc._alpha = 100;

Mouse pointer moves but system freezes

I had this problem for the past 2 months.
What would happen, was that anything I tried to do by clicking mouse pointer would not work. Pointer would move, but that was it. If I hit ctrl/alt/del, then cancel, it would recover and work fine for a while.
Tried various solutions, uninstalled untilities etc etc, with no luck.
Finally realized what was different over past 2 months. I have been using Hotspot to share wifi connection. As soon as I turned that off, everything back to normal.
Hope this helps someone.

can't test it because I don't have xfce, but here is my xorg.conf for that intel card, keyboard+touchpad is handled by policykit.
$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Mouse Pointer shows "Edit Cursor" "|" where it should be a arrow (pointer)

I have noticed that at times the mouse pointer shows a Edit cursor when it should be
a standard mouse arrow.
This happens when a leave one application and navigate to another application.
I am able to use the "|" cursor to click, but it seems rather odd.
I would really like to know if someone else has noticed this?

Are you using Fast User Switching (FUS)? Are you running an application that keeps a window always on top?
I have encountered a reproducible problem which causes the mouse pointer to fail to revert to the default arrow. I do not know if it is a general OS X issue, or caused by this specific app only (I just reported the problem to the app vendor, will report back on the resolution).
In my case, if user "A" is running a program that has an "always on top" window, and that application has the "focus", and I then use FUS to switch to any other user, the mouse pointer for that user will "stick" in its most recent variation - be it a pointing finger (for a link), an edit cursor, a window resize cursor, etc. If you move from a link for example to a text box, the cursor will change to the new form, but it will not revert to the default arrow. To "solve" the problem, do this:
before using FUS to change to another user, click on another application (e.g. the Finder), so that the problem application does not have the "focus". Does any of this relate to your problem?

Changing the mouse pointer to a cursor?

Hi,
I am using a graph or perhaps a polar plot, not sure yet, but I realy wanted to know if there is any way to make the mouse pointer act like a cursor, such that I can click on something on the graph and know where the mouse clicked (the coordinates) and perhaps change the appearance of the hand to something else? So I DO NOT have to use a cursor. I want the user to just click and not have to drag a cursor around.

Check out the Gtoolbox at gtoolbox.topcool.net. It has the functionality you are looking for.

A program that captures voice and mouse screen movements?

I want to create tutorials and have it capture (in video) my voice and anything I do on the desktop so I can create tutorials and the likes.
Any ideas?
Any freeware or trial periods? If trial, would appreciate programs (UB) that are not limited too much and only have a time limitation vs. say only 10MB capture.
Please advise!
Thanks x 100

There is such a program. It is UB, it has a trial, and if you decide you want to buy it it's actually very cheap. It's called iShowU. It does exactly what you want. You can define a portion of the screen or all of it or, my personal fav, you can define a set size and it will follow your mouse around as necessary when you start to leave the area. It also has a variety of exporting options for the video.

QoS for voice over access point AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9

Necesito saber si en el access point AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9 se puede configurar QoS para trafico de voz. El cliente tiene 5 laptops en las cuales tiene instalado softphones ( software de telefono IP). Desde una laptop se genera trafico de datos y voz. Gracias.

Julio,
Yes, you can do QoS on an IOS AP. The below link describes how you configure it.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/docs/wireless/access_point/12.4_21a_JA1/configuration/guide/scg12421aJA1-chap15-qos.html
Keep in mind, that with a softphone, or even dual-band cell phones, the applicaiton has to be able to mark it's traffic appropriatly, for the QoS to work as it should.
HTH,
Steve

Recording voice-over: Can I move or hide the recording indicator?

I'm making podcasts of presentations I use when teaching my biochemistry course. It seems to work well, but unfortunatley I cannot figure out how to get rid of the recording indicator in the top left of the projected image. It sits on top of my slide content, and sometimes obscures it from the audience. At the very least, it is a distraction, and once the level for recording is set, I don't need it for anything.
How can I get rid of it?

Yes, I've proven it is a bug with external sound cards/mixers. I switched to the internal audio on my MacBook Pro and the meter worked fine. I did report it, but who knows if or when it'll be corrected. Perhaps they have an issue with external devices that self-regulate the audio levels?

Filter for movie trailer voice over?

Does anyone know of a filter I can use in CS6 or purchase that will enable me to alter my voice to sound more like one of those scholarly sounding voice overs used for movie trailers?
Thanks.

Maybe you don't need a " filter" for after the fact.. you may be able to make your voice sound like that as you record it....
For example, if you wanna sound like a smart person from New England states.. you can put a clothes pin on your nose as you speak.
Use words like, " one has to know one's history to know one's potential, doesn't one ? "
Alternately, if you wanna sound like someone from the SouthWest.. like Texas for example, you can talk through a sock....just roll up a common cotton sock and speak through it into mic....and use words like, " Heck, it aint rocket science to know about the history of this place ! "
add some background stuff like cattle braying and you're in like Flint !

Screen Freezes -- Mouse still moves though.

Over the past week I have had an odd thing happening with my Mac.
The computer freezes up, I can't do anything, except the mouse pointer moves. I can open any programs or effect anything on the screen. The only way to get the computer to work again, it to shut it off with the button on the back, and reboot. It has been happening a lot lately.
Also, a few times the screen has gone completely black or to colored bars.
I have Norton Anti-Virus installed and have done a few scans with updated virus definitions, but have found nothing.
Anyone have any ideas what might be going on?

You might want to uninstall any anti-virus program.
Boot from the operating system Install DVD and go into Tools -> Disk Utility. Select your internal drive and Verify Permissions, Repair Permissions (may need to do a few times), Verify Disk, Repair Disk.
Reboot from the internal drive.

Mouse Pointer speed/inaccuracy

Hi,
I'm using a Apple Might Mouse. And I cant stand the system acceleration setting, where the mouse pointer moves as if it's dragging through mud.
How can I get it a bit closer to Windows/Linux pointer where it's moving freely.
I've tried Mousesteer v3.2. That worked brilliant. But I dont have a Debit/Credit card to purchase it . USB Overdrive is OK, but not brilliant.
Are there any other programs out there. I have tried other mices, and they have the same problem.
Thanks

I am also having the same problem with this. I don't think it's right to pay another 25 bucks for something that should have been integrated into the system by default. Come on!
I'm using A.) a trackpad and B.) a laser-based Logitech G5, which doesn't care what surface it is on regardless of what computer it's plugged into. I use it for gaming on my PC all the time.
The surface doesn't matter, in this case.
mousefix, at www.knockknock.org.uk/mac/ seems to work alright but now it's broken and I can't seem to fix it again. I've tinkered with this a lot and can't get it.
Just implement a small patch for this in OS X 10.4.8 - NOT that hard! Especially if this guy could do it.

Voice over other sound tracks

I have iMovie '09, and I was wondering if I could do a voice over on a movie where I have already added background music tracks , or other audio tracks in general?
Like say I finish my movie with the added sound tracks and all, then I decide I want to do a voice over on a certain portion of the movie. Will it work?
I just upgraded here to a 13" macbook pro, with 10.6.3 and all. I was using QT Pro on my older Mac , with Tiger OS. Finally decided to try out 'iMovie', as I heard it is alot better than the old '07 version.
Thanks for any helpful replies, Mo

Yes it will work. [Good video tutorial here|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/#voiceover]
Also, Ken Stone's excellent tutorial is [here|http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/imovie_09stone.html#voiceovers]

I bought my macbook pro this morning. When I turned it on it led me through set up with voice over. I finally quit VO but my pointer is not working. It moves but does not open anything. Can anyone help?

No not really. If this is a brand new Macbook Pro take it back for a refund. Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund.
Take it back, get the Full Refund (DO NOT LET THEM TRY TO FIX IT. YOU BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER NOT ONE THAT HAS BEEN WORKED ON OR NEEDS TO BE FIXED) and then decide whether to buy another Macbook Pro or the iMac. Or you could return it, get the Full refund and buy some other brand computer.

How do I remove the question mark on my dock? When I move my cursor over it it reads "photos".

How do I remove the question mark on my dock?
When I move my cursor over it it reads "photos".

Everything in the Dock is an alias.... that is a tiny file that points to the original app, folder or file.
If the original app, folder or file is missing or not accessible in some other way (deleted?), it displays a question mark.
You remove it the same way you remove any icon from the Dock.
Simply drag the icon up away from the doc a couple of inches and let go of it.
It should just disappear with a poof and some clouds.
